I got him sleeping through the night so there wont be bottles in the bed and he eats solids and snacks and sips on a sippy cup. I am so sick of being a pacifier while my son is teething. He wont take a pacifier so I am the only comfort he has. I have been waiting to lose more than 1 pound a week so I am weening so I can lose weight and not be so crazy. I am sick of my brain cells being sucked out of me. Yes you lose calories if you breastfeed, but you also have to be subservient to you child. I am weening at 9 months for my sanity.

With my daughter, she refused a bottle with breast milk or formula. Immediately I tried a soft tipped sippy cup by Nuby...she drinks water, diluted juice and formula from it - great! My daughter is nearly 9months and eats many varieties of solid foods (softened but not pureed). She nurses about 5-10 min max morning, mid day and evening (5min)....I take her off because she wants to fall asleep. She'll fall asleep by herself when she is tired and sleeps well thru the night. I am wondering how to ween completely because I am not producing much breast milk anymore. COLD TURKEY...AM / PM??? I just don't have the "supply" anymore.

She knows what a bottle is and everytime i try to give her one she just plays with it and bites on it, but sometimes she actually sucks on it. She has taken a bottle before but now she just thinks its a toy or something. She eats solid foods twice a day and only drinks milk about 5 times a day and not for that long but i want to go to work and finish school and other people cant watch her for me while i do these things because she wont take a bottle and cries until i give her the breast. What should i do? i have been trying to ween her since she was 4 months old. My baby is now 8 months old and she is still being breastfed.

]]> Comment on How to stop my child from taking the breast by Heather http://www.101babycare.com/questions/how-to-stop-my-child-from-taking-the-breast/#comment-1828 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 23:51:14 +0000 http://www.101babycare.com/questions/how-to-stop-my-child-from-taking-the-breast/#comment-1828 I wheened my (now three) lil girl when she was 19 months. We had family come into town and she was so involved in other activities that it just worked out that way. I was pregnant then so it was much needed. I am now trying to wheen my son he is 14 months. I am very engorged and hurting quite a bit (I don't remember this bein the case with my daughter). Anyway, I decided that the only way he will prob stop is to not be with me. It's been 24 hours (the longest I've been away from him) I am told he is doing well though and that he doesn't seem to be upset about not nursing. (untill he's sleepy) To those of you whose child won't take reg milk you can try adding a little biit of vanilla soy milk to it, gives it a bit sweeter taste like that of breast milk. Also, if you child won't take a bottle (neither of my did) try a sippy cup, they feel like such big kids when you introduce it (so cute) hope this helps at all. bye bye I wheened my (now three) lil girl when she was 19 months.

Yes you can give your 6 mo. old watermelon... he/she would absolutely love it and it will benefit him/her in so many ways!! I really wish new parents would go with their guts and stop listening to all the wackos out there!! The above poster is obviously one of those people that listen to everything the book/doctors say.

I would suggest waiting until at least then, especially for a fruit like watermelon, that can have seends, smaill particals or can be hard for baby to chew on, considering the limited teeth your infant has.
